Christmas Comes Early

Here they are! I've finally finished creating 5 different card templates for you to choose from when ordering Fine Art Christmas Cards. Each of these are simply the beginning. When you order these cards for your family, you will be able to choose the image(s) displayed, the greeting on the front of the card, as well as the message within. The colors will be customized as well.









Remember if you decide to go with the 4x8 photo cards, these are designed especially for you from scratch. I will send you three samples to choose from that include your desired greeting or message. Feel free to view some designs I created for clients from previous years on my website.

Something New Everyday.... Right?

I really do think we learn something new everyday. Though somedays the new information is more helpful or useful than others. Today I learned that people weren't able to post comments on my blog. A sweet friend emailed me and said she'd tried to, but couldn't. After doing a little searching, I realized I had a setting on my blog selected incorrectly. I've now set it so that anyone can post a comment on my blog. I apologize for the inconvenience and for all fairness will reinstate the contest from my previous post, in this one. As of 8/9/07 at 10:00 a.m. anyone who comments on THIS post will receive the prize below.

Special offer only for blog followers: The first person who comments this post will receive a complimentary box of folded fine art 5x7s ($70.00 value) upon the completion of their holiday session. (Session must be scheduled and session fee received by 8/31/07 and must occur before 11/21/07)

Too Hot for the Holidays!

It may be a sweltering 95 degrees outside and you feel like you're wearing the air, but believe it or not I've been in front of the computer thinking about Christmas. I've learned over the last few years, that it pays to think ahead in photography. We only have three and a half months until Thanksgiving. That may seem like an eternity to you, but to me, it means only time for 20 holiday sessions. The fall is one of my busiest times of year, so I want to be prepared. I've been busy creating sample cards for you to choose from if you decide to purchase a box of my fine art 5x7s. Below are a few of the fine art 5x7 cards I've created. All cards come with envelopes, their color schemes are matched to the image or images you choose, and the folded cards can be created with a message of your choosing, or left blank. Please visit my website for pricing details and to view samples of some custom photo cards I created for clients last year.

Back To Work

I'm so excited to be working again. I really do miss getting out with my camera and getting to know my clients better. I'm also excited to be sending out my 2nd quarterly newsletter. Hopefully many of you have already received it and are here checking out my new blog.

I've been busy preparing myself for the busy holiday season. You may want to start considering your options for this year. I'll only be accepting a limited number of sessions so if you would like to schedule a session, be sure and book early. Holiday sessions will take place through November 21st. Any sessions scheduled after the Thanksgiving weekend will not be delivered until after the Christmas holidays. Check back soon for samples of this years choices for holiday cards.



On a personal note, my family and I recently returned from a trip to Houston. While we were there I tried to photograph my own children just doing what children do, and not to try to make a "session" out of everything. Here are some pictures of the two "big kids" playing in the back yard after the rain and a cool lookin' dragonfly. Enjoy!
